Owing to the extent of iAe Index to the Tenth Volume, which haa 

 rendered it necessary to infringe upon the present Number, we are com- 

 veiled to omit several interesting articles which are in tifpe, our usual 

 Notes on Books, and several Lists op Books Wanted. 



Inbez to VoLrMB THE Tenth. Finding many serious objections made 

 to the division of our Index into two parts, we have resumed the original 

 form, which we believe will be found m practice the most useful and the 

 most satisfactory.

 turers of the ROYAL PIANOFORTES, at 25 

 Guineas each. Everj' instrument warranted. 

 The peculiar advantaoes of these pianofortes 

 are best described in the following professional 

 testimonial, signed by the majority of the lead- 

 ing musicians of the age : — " We, the under- 

 signed members of the musical profession, 

 having carefully examined the Royal Piano- 

 fortes manufactured by MESSRS. D'AL- 

 MAINE Si CO., have great pleasure in hearing 

 testimony to their merits and capabilities. It 

 appears to us impossible to produce instruments 

 of the same size possessing a richer and finer 

 tone, more clastic touch, or more equal tera- 

 penii::ent, while the elegance of their construc- 

 tion renders them a handsome ornament for 

 the library, hondoir.ordrawing-room. (Signed)
